You will be fearful, paralyzed, and controlled

[whatchamacallit]

as long as you continue to buy the lie. The War on Terror is bullshit. Now chuck this into dungeon and go back to your endless, self-perpetuating nightmare.

1. Exactly right...

I'm so damned jaded, so cynical (Thanks W, you rat bastard) that I would have to see the mushroom cloud with my own damn eyes and feel the warmth of radiation on my cheeks before I'll be afraid.

2. Disagree. I'm cynical about the terrorist threats, but don't deny out of hand

that there are those who want to harm people.

I just refuse to give it much thought; whioch makes it kind of hard to "control" me with it.

3. The new boogeyman

terror mastermind in Yemen - Anwar al-Awlaki - is an interesting character.

He seemed to move around quite freely in the Bush era.

4. It IS bullshit

Secretive groups of unknown numbers with known ties to our own intelligence agencies that always try to influence our elections.

People need to stop believing in the bogeymen our political structure trots out at convenient times.

5. Meh, they can blow me.

However, I must say that I'm very relieved to find that those dangerously pesky printer cartridges are finally under surveillance. Those fuckers have ruined many an outfit (Do not shake to get the last vestige of ink out of them - you shall regret it. And yes, I still shake them because I am compelled by the same mentality that finds it necessary to use a rubber spatula to ensure every last drop of the leftovers makes it into the Tupperware container.)
